Core sense — a he-camel; the camel as a generic term; a great sea fishgenerated

1figurative · مجاز — inferredI drank the milk of my she-camel—شَرِبْتُ لَبَنَ جَمَلِى

Also جَمْلٌ, which is so rare that some say it is used only in poetry, where the metre requires it, but it is a correct dialectal variant; a word of well-known meaning: [a he-camel; but commonly applied to the camel as a generic term, in the same way as جَامِلٌ is applied to the males and the females; but properly,] the male of the إِبِل, the mate of the نَاقَة among camels, corresponding to رَجُلٌ among us.

نَاقَةٌ corresponds to مَرْأَةٌ, بَكْرٌ to غُلَامٌ, and بَكْرَةٌ to جَارِيَةٌ.

In general it is applied specially to the male, and exceptionally to the female, as in the saying that follows.

ISd doubts whether this is correct.

[As corresponding to رَجُلٌ among us, it means a full-grown he-camel:] or it means one termed رَبَاعٍ, in his seventh year; or جَذَعٌ, in his fifth year; or بَازِلٌ, in his ninth year; or ثَنِىٌّ, in his sixth year; or, according to Z, one that has covered. [See also بَعِيرٌ and بَكْرٌ and قَعُودٌ.]

Plural of paucity أَجْمَالٌ, which may be the plural of جَمْلٌ and أَجْمُلٌ; plurals of multitude جِمَالٌ and جُمْلٌ and جِمَالَةٌ; and as isms jamʿ جُمَالَةٌ and جَمَالَةٌ and جَامِلٌ, this last disallowed by some, as will be seen below; and as a plural of a plural جِمَالَاتٌ, which is the plural of جِمَالٌ, or it may be the plural of جِمَالَةٌ and جُمَالَاتٌ [see also under جُمَّلٌ] and جَمَالَاتٌ and جَمَائِلُ, plural of جمالة and جِمال and أَجَامِلُ.

these are the he-camels of the sons of such a one—هٰذِهِ جِمَالَةُ بَنِى فُلَانٍ

Said of camels when they are males with no female among them. This is from ISk. [See also جُمَالَةٌ.]

two herds of camels—جِمَالَانِ

A dual formed from the plural جِمَالٌ, as they also said لِقَاحَانِ; so ISd, under خَيْلٌ.

he does not conceal himself who leads the he-camel—مَاٱسْتَتَرَ مَنْ قَادَ الجَمَلَ

1.1a certain sea fish, thirty cubits long—الجَمَلُ

Or, as some say, جَمَلُ البَحْرِ is the name of a very great fish, also called the بَال [that is, the whale], thirty cubits long.

According to some, this, or جَمَلُ المَآءِ, is what is called the كَوْسَج and كُبَع and لُخْم [that is, the xiphias, or sword-fish], which passes by nothing without cutting it.

[In the present day, جَمَلُ البَحْرِ is a name of the pelican.]

Core sense — beauty, goodliness, comeliness; patiencegenerated

1keep to what is most comely for you to do, and do not do this—جَمَالَكَ أَنْ لَا تَفْعَلَ كَذَا

Maṣdar of جَمُلَ; when used as a simple noun it means beauty, goodliness, comeliness, or pleasingness, the same as حُسْنٌ, in person, and goodness in action or behaviour, or in moral character.

Er-Rāghib: or elegance, or prettiness, that is, delicacy of beauty; or much goodness, beauty, or comeliness in the mind, the person, or the behaviour; and also much goodness passed on from its possessor to another.

According to As, when it relates to the person, حُسْنٌ is in the eyes and جَمَالٌ in the nose; mentioned in the article حسن. [See also جَمِيلٌ.]

One also says أَنْ تَفْعَلَ كَذَا. This is from IDrd and ISd, but see what follows.

1.1keep your patience, O wounded heart: you will find the one you love, and be at rest
shāhid
جَمَالَكَ أَيُّهَا القَلْبُ القَرِيحُسَتَلْقَى مَنْ تُحِبُّ فَتَسْتَرِيحُ

Also patience; mentioned in the article خص.

Aboo-Dhu-eyb says this; one source cites only the first hemistich, and another substitutes الجَرِيحُ for its synonym القَرِيحُ.

Or the meaning is: keep to your patience, or your self-restraint, and your shrinking from what is foul, and do not be impatient in an evil way.

Qur’ānic occurrences جَمَال
16:6
وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا جَمَالٌ حِينَ تُرِيحُونَ وَحِينَ تَسْرَحُونَ

And ye have a sense of pride and beauty in them as ye drive them home in the evening, and as ye lead them forth to pasture in the morning.

Core sense — beautiful, goodly, comely, pleasing; melted fatgenerated

1

Melted fat; or melting fat; or fat that is melted and collected; or fat that is melted and, whenever it drips, made to drip onto bread, and then put back over the fire [so that it may drip again: see جَمَلَ].

جُمَالَةٌ also means the same, or melted grease. [See also جَمُولٌ.]

2God is comely in deeds, or an abundant giver of good things: He loves those who are of like character—إِنَّ ٱللّٰهَ جَمِيلٌ يُحِبُّ الجِمَالَ

Hence, according to Abu-l-ʿAlà, because when a man becomes fat and in good condition his جَمَال becomes apparent. Also جُمَالٌ and جُمَّالٌ — or this last denotes a higher degree of beauty than جَمِيلٌ and has no broken plural — and أَجْمَلُ: beautiful, goodly, comely, or pleasing in person, and good in action or behaviour, or in moral character.

[Like the Greek, the Latin pulcher, the French beau, and the like; and so حَسَنٌ.] Or elegant, or pretty, that is, delicately beautiful. [Or marked by much goodness, beauty, or comeliness in his mind, his person, or his behaviour; and also marked by much goodness passed on from him to others: see جَمَالٌ.]

Plural of the first, جَمَالٌ; feminine جَمِيلَةٌ, applied to a woman; also جَمْلَآءُ, said to be an instance of the measure فَعْلَآءُ having no masculine of the measure أَفْعَلُ, but see above; or, according to Ibn-ʿAbbād, this last is applied to any female, meaning perfect, or complete, in body.

This occurs in a tradition; the explanation is Er-Rāghib's.

he treated him with comely, or pleasing, behaviour—عَامَلَهُ بَالجَمِيلِ
he coaxed him, or wheedled him, with comely, or pleasing, behaviour or speech—مَاسَحَهُ بِالجَمِيل
2.1a certain kind of plants—أَبُو جَمِيلٍ

That is, البَقْل, so called because they embellish and improve the seasoning of food by their presence; or because they take away the جَمِيل, that is, the grease of the flesh-meat, and dry up the food.

And جُمَلٌ and جُمْلٌ and جُمُلٌ and جَمَلٌ: [a cable;] the rope of a ship, that is, its thick rope, which is also called قَلْسٌ, consisting of a number of ropes put together.

جُمَالَةٌ also means the same, or a thick rope, because it consists of many strands put together; plural جُمَالَاتٌ, which Mujáhid explains as the ropes of bridges, but I ʿAb as the ropes of ships, put together so as to be like the waists of men in thickness.

In all the forms mentioned above, except the last, the word is read in the phrase in the Qur'ān 7:38:

I ʿAb reads الجُمَّلُ, and so do ʿAlee and many others.

جُمْلٌ is the plural, or rather the collective noun, of جُمْلَةٌ, a strand of a thick rope; or, according to IJ, the plural of جَمَلٌ. The first is explained by Fr as ropes put together, but Aboo-Ṭálib thinks he meant جُمَلٌ, without teshdeed.

Qur’ān 7:40 Lane quotes this verse
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا وَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ عَنْهَا لَا تُفَتَّحُ لَهُمْ أَبْوَٰبُ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَلَا يَدْخُلُونَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ حَتَّىٰ يَلِجَ ٱلْجَمَلُ فِى سَمِّ ٱلْخِيَاطِ ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ

To those who reject Our signs and treat them with arrogance, no opening will there be of the gates of heaven, nor will they enter the garden, until the camel can pass through the eye of the needle: Such is Our reward for those in sin.Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)
